You nailed it with, " I've never cried so much listening to a band". Seriously, Nightwish does something to me that no other band has ever done to me. They are a true gift to this world, and I'm still slapping myself for sleeping on them for so many years.
What an amazing talent! I am a new Nightwish fan. I have yet to hear a song that is not an absolute work if art! I have played piano and bass for years and I am completely stunned by this band. Thank you for introducing me to this once in a lifetime band. They are truly breathtaking.
I can't understand how you feel, but I know I feel it myself. ❤ And, I'm a 60 year old dude! But it's this song, especially for me as a sailor, that pulls me. 🥰
Jen, you see how happy he looks there in front of 20,000 people, how totally comfortable he is doing his thing. He's a born performer. He can't leave all that behind. I hope - at the same time not belittling the toll mental health problems can take on people. By the way, you got me craving Fazer's Blue. The shop is open for another hour, but I'd have to trek through the snow. What to do. As always, take care and keep the faith.
Jen Jen Jen!!! I can’t watch your Marco reactions anymore 🥺 The moment you get the first tear in your eyes, I get my Water fall 😭😭😭 Marco, the one and only, unique artist ❣️🤘
I don't know what my favorite NW song is, but this is absolutely in the final list. Like you, I'm very new to NW & I can't believe they were around for almost 25 years and I didn't know that :-( Now I'm trying to make up for all the songs and concerts I've missed. Love you Jen, love your reactions & I want you to know you're not alone in the 1/12 trauma. I remember opening my FB and seeing Marko's pic and thinking "Oh, another promotion for the show or something...." and I began reading & my eyes just went BLACK! Hope he comes back better :-) because I would really like to fly see them all in Europe. #TeamMarko
Marco. 🤩 This one always hits my heart. I was there. At the end of the catwalk. Front row. Been NW fan since 1998. The stadium is only 15 minutes away from my home. Great memories. Greetings from Finland. 🤟🇫🇮
Wow!!! You’re lucky!!! It’s been my dream to see Nightwish (with Marko) since I first saw them. When I was surprised with tickets to NYC, I cried like I’ve never cried before. I’m beyond happy that you’ve shared that story. I wish I could’ve been there in person with ya!
@@JustJenRx Hopefully you will see them live in NYC. Unfortunately Marco won't be there, but Nightwish live is and allways will be something special. 😊🎸
I really enjoy your reactions because its so evident how much the music means to you. As a fellow Nightwish addict I can tell you, your tears have plenty of company! Its a good thing, its a cleansing. I knew of Nightwish early on, but my life was crazy, I wasn't really ready to hear them until recently. But now, its like a homecoming after a long journey. These songs and the community they create, seem to be leading us to a better place. A place we didn't even know we were looking for. I'm happy to share the ride with you, and all our NW family.
Jan 12, 1 week after my Viking passed on. 2021 started out so bad for me. I love Marko. When you see him perform with his "family" his smile is so big. Charlotte, Tony, Elize, Tarja etc.
I absolutely love how you get Nightwish. I would really love to sit with you and drink whisky listening to them. Once this covid crap finishes we could be best music friends.
I love Marco's clean vocals, and he is an amazing musician. "Voice Of My Father" is another great song by him. I feel that the virtual venue for the concert in May should be renamed to The Islander's Rest. There is no Islander present without Marco, and it would be a fitting way of honouring him in his absence. Nobody should blame his stand in for not being Marco - nobody could be. It's gonna be tough enough finding a bassist who has a voice even slightly appropriate, or even a bassist AND male vocalist as two individual musicians. Those are big boots to fill. I can't see this without being amazed at the way he manages to walk out into the middle of that stadium all alone and joke around with the crowd while he sings, as if he were in his local pub. We all wish you well, Marco!
Love you and Nightwish💙! Im the band's fan from it's early days...and Im finnish, too...love Fazer's chokolate, best in the world just as our music 💙🇫🇮🤘
I specifically love the part where Troy does the introduction by saying, "ever since I have been a little boy I have always dreamed of this, Welcome to Wembley Arena!" And the crowd goes wild for the hometown boy.
#TeamMarko Hope he takes all the he time needs to and stil keep nailing gigs for few more years. He's 55, has a family (with kids and dogs)... Good to take sabat time while we are in this COVID-19 turbulence!
It’s true, Tarja’s fans hate Floor but Tarja was not replaced by Floor, nor had anything to do with Tarja’s departure in anyway, actually Floor kinda saved Nightwish during that tour, that’s what makes her even more amazing, oh hail queen Floor !!
Hi Jen, watch him sing Varpunen Jouluamuna (Christmas Sparrow) in a Christmas concert at the Helsinki Conservatory. You'll be amazed, you never heard him sing like that, it gives me chills!
Jen did you ever check out Nightwish's cover to High Hopes? Marko and the boys killed it. If you have not watched it or reacted to it, you are missing Marko's best in my opinion. Was at End of an Era, Tarja was backstage, so the boys just killed it. You know the open letter was looming and all the boys knew the end of the show was it.
Hi Jen, if you want to laugh with Marco (not at) check Tampere Sauna Open Air version of the islander where he forgets the lyrics. I was also there as Tampere is my home town.
#TEAMMARKO Let him know on Farcebook too! ........ Told you there weasels in the Nightwish rabbit-hole - all of Nightwish except Marko! LOL! .. Emppu played bass on Nightwish's first album! (before Sami).... Your kitty tattoo, right (?) shoulder - my late partner had one very similar! and a Snoopy with sunglasses and a mohican too! 😎
Being addicted Nightwish is not a bad thing :-). My journey with them began about the same time as yours. And I am totally jealous that you have tickets! I am new to your channel and I do not know if you have watched Marko and Floor perform Avi Maria. Marko's passion was overwhelming not only does Floor not upstage him, she provides some support through the performance. I have watched Tuomas's movie Imaginaryrum, same name as the album. Critics were lukewarm, but it is an independent film that tells a wonderful and compelling story with some very significant twists. I even suffer through the two-hour documentary which was not nearly as good as the movie, but you learn who these people really are and what kind of integrity they have. When you have been with the band for a while you are family, which is what Tuomas professes. The truth of that is easy to see. Jukka had to leave the band for medical reasons. I learned in the documentary that he still gets paid by the band. The only other band I know that have done this is Pink Floyd. They supported the original founder until he died in 1998. David Gilmore came in because Sid had spent 10 days on an acid trip in London and fried his brain to the point of permanent disability. Integrity, talent, creative abilities and demonstrating a rare level of humanity.
If you've seen Wacken, Tampere, and Bruno's Aires, I think the only shows you're missing are Wishes to Eternity (which you have seen parts of), Wembley (which you have also seen most of), and Mexico City. Mexico City should be out on DVD, and clips are available, so that might be next on your list outside of Marco's solo album, and the Masked Singer Finland.
Still the most sad thing for me is, that I will never see Marko and Floor doing " Phantom of the Opera" on the tour. I`ve been hoping so hard for this to happen. I still hope, he might get bored and changes his Mind again.
Thanks for pushing back on those haters :) We're all just humans and we have no business talking trash about the relationship of other people we don't really know much about. Yes, the way they treated Tarja in public was not OK, but that's a thing of the past. They are over it, so you should as well. btw: "Hietala" there's actually a pause between the "i" and the "e". So it's more like "Hee-ehh-tala". Though I'm not a native english speaker so it's difficult to explain pronounciation. In germany the sound of an "e" has a much lower pitch than an "i". Fun fact: in germany we pronounce the "i" like english speakers pronounce the "e".
There isn't one single bad back-n-forth song interaction between Marko and Floor, but for me the best one, and my favorite song of theirs, is Song of Myself, though now that I think of it, Ghost River is a close second.
A.f.a.i.k. you still haven't seen one epic Marco song where he does the lead singing in an Ayreon song, "Age of Shadows" live at Tilburg 2017. But correct me if i'm wrong. Would love to see a reaction of you to this song.
If you want to know what he says before verse. It’s ” If i play that verse, you will sing along?’ Audience replies, “yyyeaaah”. Then Marco says “OK, then we”ll do it. Just some transtalion help
Troy is actually a pretty decent vocalist. Tuomas is also a backup singer. I am sure they will be okay. AND there is the possibility that Henk Poort will be there because of his duet with Floor. I am sorry that this hurts you so much. I hope you can recover. :)
#TeamMarko. Nightwish addiction .... I don’t feel I need rehabilitation for this ... or is there somewhere in the AN group (anonymous Nightwish fans) where to sign up? On behalf of a friend I ask ..
Marco is a great vocalist and instrumentalist, he was a trademark of the band with his special style and apperance, I'm sorry he's leaving but it's his decision and we have to respect it. I thought Tarja was irreplaceable but Floor appeared. I am a F1 fan and Ayrton Senna is still number 1 for me, the best. When Senna died in Imola in 1994 due to a brekdown on the F1 car, the whole F1 world was in shock and disbelief, sir Frank Williams the owner of the Williams team for which Senna also drove, said " No one is irreplaceable " . So a replacement will have to be found for Marco as well .
I don’t think they’re gonna play it since it was Marko who wrote the song. Tuomas only wrote the lyrics to it. So it’s not Nightwishes song 100%. Of course Marko is a wonderful guy and he might give them his permission to perform it nevertheless.
Let’s hope that happens! A world without iMarko is an unbearable thought. BTW have you not reacted to Kiss while your lips are still red? It’s a Marko song ❤️

Thank you for being a NW lover!!! Just wait my friend! THEY HAVE A TON OF SONGS!!! And every last one is AMAZING!!!!!
Have you seen that video on RUclips where Marko sings Black Sabbath song as a lullaby to Jukka's baby daughter on A homevideo? So cute!
I was lucky because I enjoyed this song in a Nightwish concert!!
Oh I’m jealous now
@@JustJenRx Kisses
All the best from the Nightwish Army #TEAMMARKO
Ohhhhh Marko....Love Him💙 Thank You Jen💞 Love You to❤And love🌸 from the Netherlands 🌷🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱😘😘
Love you and Marko too 🤗
Ok this must be the best reaction I’ve seen ever. Subscribed! You almost got me in tears lady
Awww 🥰 thank you! My tear ducts are allergic to Marko! That’s what I’m claiming 😂
I can't understand how you feel, but I know I feel it myself. ❤ And, I'm a 60 year old dude! But it's this song, especially for me as a sailor, that pulls me. 🥰
I have a tattoo of The Islander cover art on my arm ;-) Such a beautiful piece!
Oooooo nice! I have Elán on my leg!
@@JustJenRx Yeah I saw it on one of your live stream. It’s beautiful!
You are a very emotional person. It's nice to watch sincere emotion with great music. Until next time...
You know you're a BAD man when the greatest female vocalist in the world is singing backup for you! I heard that somewhere!...haha
My thought exactly! You know you're badass when Floor Jansen takes a back seat! 🤘🤘
Jen, you see how happy he looks there in front of 20,000 people, how totally comfortable he is doing his thing. He's a born performer. He can't leave all that behind. I hope - at the same time not belittling the toll mental health problems can take on people.
By the way, you got me craving Fazer's Blue. The shop is open for another hour, but I'd have to trek through the snow. What to do.
As always, take care and keep the faith.
Jen Jen Jen!!!
I can’t watch your Marco reactions anymore 🥺
The moment you get the first tear in your eyes, I get my Water fall 😭😭😭

Hi Jen, thank you so much for this reaction, greetings from Denmark
Jen, just gorgeous! Is it sunny outside or is it your smile lighting up the universe?
Awww 🥰 thank you!
Every single time the same feeling like its first time

This one always hits my heart.
I was there. At the end of the catwalk. Front row.

Thanks Jen, love to know that i'm not the only one with wet eyes when listening to this song. Marko is a king. nuff said👍:)
💯
when music touches your soul, ther can only be tears .
Now you just need to hear Marko singing HIGH HOPES, a Pink Floyd cover or Voices of my Father
I’ve seen it a few times. I’ve reacted to it, on my live streams
@@JustJenRx, now you just need to hear and watched Tarja and John- Two Hawks with Creek Mary's Blood!
@@kirillazarov4924 even if JTH was a fake! The song still sounds great!
Absolutely she will flip out in a good way 💯
A great way to support Marko! All the best from Sweden.

Jen knows the Northern Kings because she's had to hear me go on about them and my forever crush Tony Kakko

You needed some catharsis, to better process the new reality. Beautiful to watch, Jen!
i think the others joining him was a surprise...the look on his face :-)
He has such a great voice! Beautiful song! Hope Marco feels better soon so he can sing more for people. #TeamMarco
God, I'm going to miss Marco.
Really hope he comes back again.
Hi Jen, watch him sing Varpunen Jouluamuna (Christmas Sparrow) in a Christmas concert at the Helsinki Conservatory. You'll be amazed, you never heard him sing like that, it gives me chills!
Marco is our love express... we want the princess in the tower.Our guy!❤
Marko is SO GOOD!!! HOLY MOLY
The way this version of the song builds just makes it so special. When the whole band drops, it's magic.
Now this song brought me into tears , thinking about my mother who passed away 3 yesrs ago ❤
Then avoid Our decades in the sun for all cost..

That was my first ever NW song I ever seen
